Hello people,(first off i'll say that I'm not sure if this is an engine question or a GUI question)

I've just downloaded a new Ivanhoe compile (version 9.47c GH x64 - I'm pretty sure 'GH' are the initials of the compiler..apologies for forgetting his name) and went to run an engine match with it against Ivanhoe v.999947c...

I'd noticed that during the match Ivanhoe GH & Ivanhoe's hash table allocation was 49MB and 147MB respectively.

How do I change it so that they can become equal :confused:

Thanks in advance...

-Engines
-Manage
-UCI
here, make sure 'Common hashtable size' is enabled and set it to desired size

or
set the hashtable size for each engine separately:
-Engine
-Engine 1
-Configure
and enter hashtable size in Hash field

PS-
if common hashtable size is enabled (as shown in 1st example)
then Arena hides UCI option Hash, and setting the hashtable size for each engine separately (2nd example) is no longer possible

Ok I tried that and 'common hashtable size' was checked... the hastable size is the same when in analysis but they're still 49MB/147MB in tournament mode.. :/

Try this: engines-->manage-->details-->(select engine)-->type must be UCI(for engines which support UCI) -->press "Apply" ,then "OK"... hope I helped you...

Zootman, it's a bug in Arena, you have to restart Arena every x games and restart Arena before you start your match exclaim

When i choose 128mb in Arena or if i desactive memory manager
in Arena :
Fire 169mb in Arena, or 313500kb (private bytes) and 448512kb for virtual memory in Process Explorer
Houdini 137mb, or 157244kb and 167500kb VM in PE
Critter 136mb, or 185496kb private bytes and 209584 for VM in Process Explorer

Sorry I'm limited in English, so littles sentences ' sad

'

I took the theme graphic files on the site Arena + font Chessbase allready installed on the PC .
I put the orange color for the background and font in blue.
This i like, lots of GUI graphics configuration in Arena .

For the board and pieces

I have a problem with the Arena.
I downloaded a version half the words in English and the other half in German.
How can I fix it or please send me a link to download the correct version.

mare1975 sorry. I am not understood.
Arena I've downloaded from the link you sent.
In the interface half words in English and the other half in German I do not understand.
In your interface all words are in English.
How can I fix this?
Thank you!

Install and run more than 1 engine at same time to play...

Easy, go to Engines >>> Manage... and choose 3 engines to run at same time like I have Houdini + Komodo + Stockfish...
